The best artificial disc material must closely resemble the viscoelasticity, biomechanics and bioavailability of a natural human intervertebral disc. Currently, there is a lack of reviews discussing the characterization of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel as a nucleus pulposus (NP) replacement in in...
